Step 1: Department of Education PIN and Federal Financial Aid Form (FAFSA).
If you or your parent don't already have a PIN, apply for one now. Your conditional PINs will either be given to you immediately on the Web site when you apply or e-mailed to you immediately from the Federal Government. Be sure keep and safeguard your PIN as you will need it for future years and other processes. You and your parent will each need a PIN to submit and electronically sign your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). (Section 2 of the Web site.) |
| Some students and parents find it helpful to fill out a Pre-Application Worksheet first (Section 1 of the Web site). If you have all ready completed your FAFSA for this award year, please use your PIN and make a correction by adding our school code, 004057, to your processed FAFSA (Section 3 of the Web site). |
